đ¨ $100M Nobitex Breach Forces Crypto Exchange Lockdown â Trading Halted Amid Security Crisis
Crypto exchanges just got a brutal wake-up call. After a staggering $100 million digital heist on Nobitex, the platform slammed the brakes on all transactionsâimposing an emergency curfew that's sent shockwaves through the market.
When 'trustless' systems fail spectacularly
The breach exposes the ironic vulnerability of centralized exchanges (CEXs) that preach decentralization while operating like Wall Street banksâjust with worse customer support. Nobitex's 'cold wallet' safeguards? Apparently not cold enough.
The domino effect begins
Competitors are now scrambling to audit their systems, while traders face frozen assetsâproving once again that in crypto, your keys might be yours, but your liquidity belongs to the exchange. The FSA's already drafting new 'guidelines' (read: performative bureaucracy).
As the industry holds its breath, one truth emerges: $100M hacks tend to do wonders for Bitcoin's 'store of value' narrativeâright after they vaporize someone else's value.
